Description
High Burnthwaite Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the 1860s that incorporates earlier features. It has red sandstone walls, a hipped slate roof, and stone chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance features pilasters, a plain entablature, and a moulded cornice, topped with a round-headed arch. The windows include tripartite and single designs with moulded surrounds and a cornice above the principal window; all are sashes with slender glazing bars. The entrance door is a four-panel design with a two-pane fan above it. The farmhouse has rusticated quoins and a plinth, along with a moulded cornice. The chimneys are adorned with drip moulds. The original farmhouse at the rear was demolished in 1982 and rebuilt on the same site using original materials, now at a single storey height. A lintel stone with carved raised lettering dated 1671 and the names W: WOODVILL and E.W. has been re-used for the rear entrance, and the original roof line is visible on the back of the farmhouse. The listing does not include other farm buildings.
